The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted on March 23, 2010, aims to improve health insurance quality and affordability, reduce the uninsured rate, and lower healthcare costs. It mandates that insurers cover all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions or gender, and introduced subsidies, mandates, and insurance exchanges. Hospitals and physicians have adapted to improve health outcomes, efficiency, and accessibility.
We can help you navigate the insurance marketplace to find suitable coverage. Open enrollment runs from November 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025. Be sure to update your application if your income changes and review new policies. After January 15, you may qualify for Special Enrollment due to life events like losing coverage or a family size change.
